PearX Info Session & AMA with Khalil Fuller, Pear Partner & Former Founder (Georgia Tech)

​Pear VC is coming to Georgia Tech. 

​Join us for a PearX info session & AMA with Khalil Fuller, Partner @ Pear VC and Nathan Dass (GT '18), Co-Founder & CTO of Polynomic.

​We’ll cover what PearX is, who it’s for, and how to know if it’s the right next step for you. Nathan will share his entrepreneurial story, plus plenty of time for live Q&A.

​PearX is Pear’s 12-week accelerator for early-stage founders. We work with a small cohort (~20 companies) and go deep with each team to get them on the path to success as fast as possible. Following Demo Day, 90% of PearX companies raise institution-led seed rounds from top-tier firms.

​Applications for our Summer 2026 cohort are now open, and programming kicks off in July. 

​About Pear VC:

​Pear VC is a pre-seed and seed-stage venture firm that partners with founders from their earliest days to build category-defining companies. Founded in 2013 by Pejman Nozad and Mar Hershenson, we’ve backed breakout companies like DoorDash, Gusto, Vanta, Listen Labs, and Viz.AI. We’re company builders and operators—our partners have collectively founded 15+ startups—and we help teams find product-market fit, recruit their first engineering hires, and tackle their most critical early challenges.

​About Nathan:

​A proud Yellow Jacket from the Class of 2018, Nathan was involved in many parts of Tech's campus, including getting 2nd in the InVenture Prize competition. Since graduating, he completed a MS in CS at Stanford, a MS/MBA at Harvard, and worked at Google Research for 5 years in applied research where he worked with Transformer models since the summer the paper was published in 2017. He co-founded Polynomic, an AI-native ad agency, a little under a year ago and has since gone through PearX and raised a Seed round to help consumer brands run ads based on maximizing ad efficiency, not based on what's easy and convenient.
